HISTORY

Established in 1980 as Fierst & Neiman, the firm started as a general practice.

In the late 1980s, the firm began its vibrant entertainment practice by undertaking the representation of the creators of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

In the 1990s, the firm developed an outstanding reputation in the entertainment and licensing industries through Fred Fierst’s representation of several other high profile entertainment clients.

Ken Neiman left the firm to become a United States Magistrate Judge in 1994, whereupon the firm took the name of Fierst & Pucci LLP with the addition of John Pucci who brought to the firm a strong background in civil and criminal litigation.

The firm’s reputation for excellence in litigation was strengthened with the addition of Jeff Kinder in 1999. The firm name was changed to Fierst, Pucci & Kinder LLP in 2002.

Jonathan J. Kane became of-counsel to the firm in 2001, and became a partner in 2005.

As of January 1, 2007, the firm became known as Fierst, Pucci & Kane LLP.
